We all have that one watch we could not do without. Perhaps we were given it by a loved one or we brought it because it fits our style perfectly. Whatever the reason is, technology is starting to change and, although the smartwatch revolution hasn’t happened just yet, it appears to be just around the corner.
For those of us who already have that perfect watch and do not want to buy an Apple Watch, this isn’t exactly the news we want to hear. Plus, many people don’t like the little black smartwatch and much prefer a traditional style of wrist watch. Well, it seems like customers are not the only people searching for the answer to this problem – and now it seems like there might be a solution… the Chronos.
The Wrist Watch Transformer!
If you want to keep your perfect Casio G-Shock, Seiko Astron or Junghans Max Bill watch on your wrist, but you want to adopt new technology – Trivoly have exactly what you need. The Chronos is due to appear on the market in February 2016 and it transforms your favourite wrist watch into a smartwatch.
The Chronos is a tiny disc which attaches to the back of your smartwatch and allows it to communicate with an Android or iOS phone. Everything works through the Trivoly app which is installed on the users phone and handles communication with your watch.
Once the Chronos is connected with the phone via the app it can do a lot of things. The Chronos can work as a fitness tracker, remote music player and it can receive notifications via haptic feedback. If that wasn’t enough, it also comes with a 36-hour battery life, it is waterproof and allows for wireless charging. These features are ones which cause a lot of people trade in their old wrist watch for a shiny new smartwatch – now they might not have to.
It seems as though this new technology would be perfect for anyone who has a large wrist watch collection which they are proud of. This allows people to keep their watches while upgrading the technology to take advantage of new developments.
“We believe your watch does more than tell time. It speaks to your taste, history, and personal style. And for technology to be truly wearable, it must enhance your life without disrupting it,” Mark Nichols, CEO, told Forbes. “That’s why we designed Chronos to seamlessly integrate modern notification and tracking technology with the watches you’ve always loved to wear.”
Conclusion
If you’re proud of your watch collection but want to take advantage of some of the new technological advancements seen in recent years then Chronos could be an option for you. It also makes Christmas shopping easier when you’re buying for those who hate smartwatches but love their smartphone!
You can buy watches made by any manufacturer, from Citizen watches to Dreyfuss watches, in the knowledge that one little device can turn it from a wrist watch into a smartwatch. The Chronos accessory will hit the market in February 2016, will you be buying one?
